These guys stopped traffic.
Dining at Seoul South Korean Restaurant in Banff. He asked for "as spicy as you can possibly make it ... and then make it spicier". No heart attacks or other health issues reported, thankfully.
Hiking the jurassic landscape at Horseshoe Canyon near Drumheller, Alberta.
Roar! The World's Largest Dinosaur primed to attack.
What kid – and kid at heart – wouldn't love visiting a town with giant dinosaur statues near every intersection? I love it!
